A day in September

I love doing a day in the life posts! Scout has an amazing life and I want her to be able to look back at these fond memories. I also hope we inspire other families to add some cool adventure into their lives!

 After morning chores we meet friends for a geocaching hike.


 This is the geo cache app we use. Worth every penny, there are caches everywhere, all over the world! We use it everywhere we go. It will bring you to many interesting spots, right under your nose or remote.





Our favorite local spot.
 

We brought ALL our hiking buddies today!
 



After we returned home the kids immediately started collecting wood from the forest to build a fort of their own.





 When they got hungry, into the garden they went. They gobbled up raspberries, cherry tomatoes, grapes, apples and peaches...picked with their own little hands.

Other stuff happened, roller coaster building, drawing, play-scape fun, obstacle course training for the dogs...

Then they wanted to do some riding. 







 What an amazing life...amazing unschool days.

The Secret Garden

What is more exciting then a secret place all your own? A place in the forest, just far enough away to feel like your on an adventure with no grownups in sight? A place for giggles and creating  and dreaming and playing and friendships. A place made more special because you built it yourself.....today such a place became a reality.

Scout's Secret Garden

Winter Hike with Friends

I haven't posted in a long time! We have been enjoying all the snow...and recently took a hike with friends. 

imaginative play, a big boulder and big imaginations!


Queen of the hill!
 

Big jumps building big confidence!
 



After we talked about what kind if tree this was, and the others, they set out to try to climb them all.
 




Heading out to find the secret woodland fort!
 


 Fun with friends in the woods...
Life is Good!
